  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese about 4 ounces, packed, grated

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallot finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Using your heaviest cast iron skillet, heat the oil over high heat.
  2. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the cherry tomatoes and let sit for 2 minutes until they start to blister. Give them a quick stir and let them sit for another 2 minutes or so. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with a few tablespoons of torn basil and parsley.
  4. Serve the cherry tomatoes on top of the polenta.
